Method with solar assist to capture carbon dioxide and generate electricity, heat and desalinated water
A system for generating electricity, heat, and desalinated water having a gas turbine system connected to a first electric generator, a waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) system, a combined heat and power (CHP) generation system connected to a second electric generator, one or more solar powered energy systems, and a desalination system. The desalination system is connected to the CHP generation system and the WHRB system. The gas turbine system generates electricity and heat, the WHRB system is connected to and uses the exhaust of the gas turbine system to provide heat and steam power to the CHP generation system. The CHP generation system produces and provides electricity and heat to the desalination system, which produces product water, and at least one solar powered energy system provides thermal energy to one or more of the gas turbine system, the WHRB system, the CHP generation system, and the desalination system.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOVAL AND SEQUESTRATION OF ACIDITY FROM SURFACE SEAWATER
A method by which an environmental energy (e.g., wave energy) is harvested, converted into electrical power, and thereafter used to electrolyze seawater into hydrogen and chlorine gases. Those gases are recombined into hydrogen chloride from which is formed hydrochloric acid solution which is diluted and deposited at a depth sufficient to ensure its neutralization and sequestration for a significant period of time (e.g., for over a millennium). By removing chloride ions from a portion of the sea adjacent to its upper surface and depositing them into a portion of the sea more adjacent to its bottom, acidity is shifted from the surface to base of the sea, and the surface ocean is given a greater ability to absorb and buffer atmospheric carbon dioxide without a corresponding increase in acidity.
COMPLETE SETS OF EQUIPMENT FOR SUPPLYING DRINKING WATER IN FIELD
The present disclosure provides a complete set of equipment for supplying drinking water in field. The complete set of equipment for supplying drinking water in field consists of several units carried by single person, making the water purification equipment easy to use and transport. The complete set of equipment includes a multistage filtration unit, a reverse osmosis unit, and a power control unit connected by a plug-in pipeline.
MOBILE CLEANING AND WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
A mobile power washing system is provided. The system includes a mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit, a mobile water treatment vehicle operably coupled to the mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit, and a controller. The mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit includes an instant reclaim drivable vehicle and one or more high pressure cleaning heads disposed on the instant reclaim drivable vehicle. The mobile water treatment vehicle includes a drivable vehicle, a water treatment unit, a water treatment unit disposed on the drivable vehicle, at least one water tank operably coupled to the water treatment unit and disposed on the drivable vehicle, at least one water pump disposed on the drivable vehicle and configured to pump water from the at least one water tank to the mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit and a power source configured to power the at least one water pump.
Control of hot air flow circulation within a solar desalination system
Methods and systems for circulating hot air in a solar desalination system include a desalination structure having an air flow path defined between an external surface layer and an internal surface layer. A return flow conduit has a fan, a check valve, and a control valve. Saline water is delivered through a nozzle to provide a mist. An air flow within the air flow path is heated to form a hot air supply. The mist is heated with the hot air supply to form an evaporated fluid. The fan is operated to divert a diverted portion of the hot air supply into the return flow conduit to be mixed with an ambient air to form and heat the air flow. The volume of the diverted portion can be controlled with the control valve. The check valve prevents ambient air from entering the return flow conduit at a base end.
Transportable wastewater treatment systems and methods
Transportable wastewater treatment systems and wastewater treatment methods are provided, which employ a clarification unit to treat highly polluted wastewater (e.g., with BODs over 400 mg/l and up to 1500 mg/l) with a small footprint and without elaborate infrastructure or even without grid-based energy sources. The clarification unit comprises an anaerobic digestion unit configured to receive influent and reduce an organic load thereof to yield a first stream, an aerobic anoxic air lift reactor configured to treat the first stream and further reduce the organic load thereof to yield a second stream, and an aerobic unit configured to clarify the second stream and deliver effluent, the aerobic unit comprising a plurality of vertical sheets configured to support growth of algae on biofilm, a sprinkling system configured to sprinkle the second stream onto the vertical sheets, and an organic matter removal unit configured to collect organic mass falling off the vertical sheets.
WIND POWERED OFFSHORE WATER PRODUCTION FACILITY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A FACILITY
An offshore water production facility to be located on a body of water includes a floating object, at least one wind turbine, a power generator that is coupled to the wind turbine and a water production system. The floating object includes a plurality of buoyancy assemblies that support at least one column on which a wind turbine is mounted.

The water production system is arranged on the process equipment deck, and the water production system is configured for subsea well water-injection and includes an ultra-filtration unit and a membrane de-aeration unit for water to be injected.
Hydroponics farming apparatus, and systems including the same
Embodiments of the present invention provide hydroponics farming apparatus, and systems including the same. The farming apparatus comprises a frame, a plurality of functional systems, a first plurality of sensors configured to monitor conditions associated with farming of the one or more plants, and one or more modular storage cabinets removably attached to the frame. The one or more modular storages include electronics that are pre-assembled and configured to communicate with one or more of the first plurality of sensors and the plurality of functional systems. The electronics includes a main controller configured to collect data from the first plurality of sensors.
BARRAGE WITH FUNCTION OF COLLECTING FLOATING GARBAGE ON WATER SURFACE
A barrage with a function of collecting floating garbage on a water surface is provided. It includes a first dam body as a main body of the barrage provided with multiple built-in low water level drainage channels and high water level drainage channels, a second dam body provided with multiple notches for converging floating garbage on the water surface, a garbage collecting and storing equipment arranged between the first dam body and the second dam body and a solar power generating equipment. The garbage collecting and storing equipment maintains running of the garbage conveyor belt by utilizing electric energy provided by the solar power generating equipment, thereby collecting garbage in a garbage pool beside the barrage. It not only has conventional functions of the barrage, but also greatly saves cost of manually salvaging garbage and avoids water pollution caused by accumulation of garbage on the river surface.
